THE GEORGES SPETZ PRIVATE MUSEUM 


GEORGES SPETZ’S Collection has been well known in Europe 

e ior the last seventy-five years, and not till the death of the 

owner fifteen years ago was there any thought of its dis- 
persal. M. Spetz was a very ardent student of tous les arts, for he 
studied painting under de Merhiusern at Rome, sending works to the 
Paris Salon. His activities in music were even more meritorious, 
for amongst his compositions were Le Pawvre and Le Sphina, the texts 
of which were by Bouchor and the Vicomte de Borelli; both of these 
operas were performed in Paris with success. In fact, the man’s 
whole life was spent cherishing the arts and many an exposition retro- 
spective was greatly assisted by the generous loan exhibits of M. Spetz. 

The well-known art critic, M. Anselme Laugel, wrote in 1900 
a fine critique of the Spetz collection for La Revue Alsacienne pub- 
lished at Strasbourg. 

The great impetus now existing to acquire French faience of the 
XVI, XVII and XVIII centuries was largely due to Mr. Morgan’s 
munificence in bequeathing some years ago a charming collection to 
_the Metropolitan Museum and it may be noted that many examples 
in the Spetz Collection are very similar or have great analogy thereto. 
In fact, with the exception of the famous Oiron or St. Porchaire 
faience, there are more diverse kilns represented than in the Morgan 
Collection at the Muséum. For there are charming groups of Nevers, 
Rouen, Moustiers, Quimper, Strasbourg, Avignon, Paris, Marseilles, 
Apt, St. Omer, St. Amand-les-EKaux, Niderwiller, Douai and Avon, 
also one example by the great potter Bernard Palissy. 

A group of early Rhineward stoneware is notable, for there are 
specimens of Grenzhausen, Alsace, Cologne, Sieburg, Fechen and a 
rare Kreussen enameled jar signed by Engel Kran and dated 1584. 

Amongst the miscellaneous faience and porcelains are groups of 
Delft, Hispano-Moresque and Chinese; the latter being dignified by a 
large pair of delightful Ch’ien-lung Famille-Noir Temple Jars. 

Perhaps the proximity to Prague gave an exceptional opportu- 
nity for gathering XVI, XVII and XVIII Century Bohemian glass, 
for there are a number of rare armorial specimens and a beaker dated 
1594, wheel-etched, depicting the Emperor Maximilian enthroned and 
surrounded by the princely electors of the Empire. 


The gathering of pewter, while not large, is distinguished by 
several exceptionally interesting objects, amongst them a XVI century 
temperance dish by Franciscus Briot, without doubt the most accom- 
plished pewterer of any age; for goldsmiths of note and even the great 
potter Palissy did not disdain to exploit Briot’s models. 

Many notable examples of early bronzes appear, mainly Gothic 
from the XIII to the XVI century; amongst these are an aqua manile, 
French of the XIV century; an excessively rare grotesque double 
bottle of similar origin but of the XIII century; a very fine group of 
mortars, early Italian and French, including a Medicean specimen 
bearing the coat of arms of the celebrated Cosimo. 

A silver inlaid Veneto-Saracenic brass dish rivals the finest ex- 
amples of the Nuremberg and Venetian repoussé brass dishes, although 
there are several of truly Gothic origin. 

Several of the copper, brass and forged iron torchéres, lavabos, 
jardiniéres and wall brackets are of importance. These are French, 
Italian and from the Haut Rhin. 

Amongst the lesser objects there are so many of intrinsic artistic 
worth that only a few can be enumerated; for instance, there is a 
sculptured cabinetmaker’s plane that rivals the one at Cluny Museum; 
carved leather boxes; rosaries; a Champlevé enamel pyx, French of 
the XIII century; a nautilus coupe of the XVI century School of 
Fontainebleau; gilded Gothic chalice cups and candlesticks. 

Any collector interested in small objects of forged iron will revel 
in the engraved coffrets from Nuremberg; the group of Gothic and 
Renaissance Locks with their fine tracery and keys, as well as the 
domestic utensils of definite beauty. 

Then again the early Renaissance silver is exceptionally inter- 
esting, for this was mostly acquired from surrounding cities such as 
Strasbourg and much of it has the maker’s and city marks, so that the 
collector may place it without peradventure of a doubt. ‘There are 
Augsburg, Nuremberg, Stuttgart, Luneberg and several French speci- 
mens. zi 

A number of French, Swiss and Alsatian stained glass panels add 
vastly with their glowing colors and often heraldic splendor. Two 
of the XVI century have been illustrated in Kraus’ admirable work on 
Alsatian stained glass, Kunst und Altertum in Elsass-Lothringen. 
These originally were in the collection of Casimir de Rathsamhauser, 
the princely Abbé de Murbach, Guebwiller, Alsace. | 

The primitive paintings and miniatures are, in several instances, 
very interesting from the distinct local atmosphere they breathe. 
Some are of Alsatian origin, but, of course, the Italian School is also 
represented. There is a positively typical triptych by Martin Schoen- 


gauer which is full of strength and virility ; this was found in L’Abbaye 
de Lucelle, Alsace. 

A gathering of small sculptured objects in ivory, boxweod, wal- 
nut and alabaster include a charming figurine of Cleopatra and a bas- 
relief of Venus and her naughty son. 

M. Spetz sought a museum that was representative of many 
divergent lines of artistic endeavor and succeeded. However, his 
greatest joy and achievement was perhaps the gathering of local sculp- 
tured walnut statuettes and groups; not that he did not acquire those 
of French, Spanish and Italian origin, but where he could get XIV, 
XV or XVI century Alsatian work he did, and many of these are 
noble and dignified expressions of sculptural art. 

The Gothic and Renaissance furniture is chiefly of French oz 
Alsatian provenance, but there are two very fine Dantesca chairs and 
a splendid Italian gilded and carved prie-Dieu. Fine chairs, cabinets 
and library tables in the French Renaissance are always acceptable, 
for their beautiful proportions and choice sculpture are always obvi- 
ous. Amongst these that draw immediate notice are, a stall of the 
School of Lyons; two library tables, one of which is signed EK. Deboulez, 
a rare instance of early signature; an elaborately sculptured secre- 
tary; several chairs and a very beautiful cabinet by Hugues Sambin, 
who was born at Dijon 1522 and attained great celebrity in his native 
city. This cabinet has many analogies to one by the same master in 
the Altman Collection at the Metropolitan Museum. Gothic chests 
and cabinets are also to be seen and two stately mantelpieces from 
French Flanders, with their marble columns, original terra-cotta tile 
linings, large iron firebacks, dated 1605 and 1616, respectively, give 
great dignity to the whole collection. 

The collection of filet lace and embroidered borders and covers 
represents Italy Major, Sicily, Spain and Rhodes at their best, for it is 
not likely that a gathering with such diverse motives could now be 
found. 

A collection of one hundred and sixty-five Coptic fragments woven 
in colored linens in the ancient tapestry loom manner is of serious in- 
terest to students and designers, not only for their color, many being 
as brilliant as at their first appearance, but for the varied nature of 
their types, which include figures of personages, birds, animals, sym- 
bols, flowers and foliage. 

There are many beautiful embroideries, sumptuous velvets, bro- 
cades and brocatelles. The chief examples are the original crimson 
velvet Spanish processional banners with painted medallions, one evi- 
dently executed by a close follower of Murillo, and a set of superb 
Florentine needlepainted panels and a screen of crimson velvet resplen- 


dent in silks and gold and silver thread scrollings and backgrounds 
with figures of saints occupying the medallions. Nothing before or 
since has reached such an acme of perfection and they probably are 
from the hand of either Jacobus Cambi or Geri Lapi, two of the most 
famous embroiderers of the Florentine School at its apogee. We — 
find, however, a large Spanish Renaissance altar frontal and a chasuble 
of similar workmanship that even rival the Florentines. 

Royal Spain, probably with much reluctance, parted with several 
Gothic and Early Renaissance carpets bearing patterns of much 
strength, simplicity and distinction; these are very notable for their 
fine sapphire-blues and golden-yellows. 

An apple-green Polonaise Rug is most delightful for exquisite 
draughtsmanship and simple arrangement of colors. The whe 1S 
reconciled with a delicate outlining of mulberry-crimson. 

Archaic animal rugs of the early XVI century are all rare, but 
the Kouba now seen is the rarest type of all. It has an unusually fine 
ruby-red field occupied by groups of wild animals, amongst which a 
lion, a leopard and a panther are seen variously attacking a horse, a 
gazelle and a bull; further interest is given by the addition of birds 
and rabbits amid the beautiful flowering shrubs. 

Royal Persia has contributed a number of Ispahan rugs and 
superb Mosque carpets of the early XVI century of great beauty, and 
also Damascus with their typically fine ruby-crimsons, striking yellow- 
greens and tracery of lovely patterning. But the delightful frag- 
ments of Ispahan and Lahore carpets of velvety wool pile woven with 
utmost dexterity are amazing in their wealth of color, and the subtlety 
of their patterns easily challenges carpets of earlier or later periods. 
Persian flower gardens must certainly have been as beautiful as their 
poetry indicates to inspire such masterpieces. ‘There are rarities in 
color amongst them and a XV century animal example is a tour de 
force. The Lahore specimens, equally beautiful, recall those of the 
Altman collection in the Metropolitan Museum. 

Decorative tapestries give a stateliness to any apartment unat- 
tainable by any other means. Amongst those now on exhibition are, 
Burgundian Gothic of the XV century depicting the legend of the 
Wild Man of the Woods; two Renaissance, one a Brussels, the other 
Fontainebleau, representing The Meeting of Hercules and Omphale and 
a Bear Hunt; an Aubusson probably after a Boucher rustic subject ; 
an amusing Lille example representing The Dubbing of Don Quixote 
Knight by the Innkeeper; and two very effective English tapestries, 
having extremely beautiful color, made under the direction of Francis 
Poyntz after he had left Mortlake and established his looms at Hatton 
Garden in London. The subjects are, The Rape of the Sabines and 


The Death of Niobe’s Children; in the coats of arms at crown of each 
are the quarterings of the Effingham family and of the Marquis of 
Thomond. 

There is also a most important Gothic Arras tapestry woven after 
two celebrated woodcuts by Albert Diirer which caught the attention 
of all Europe in his day. This depicts scenes from the Apocalypse 
and was originally in a series woven for the Escurial Palace at Madrid.

FRENCH FAIENCE 


Mr. Georges Spetz had admirable opportunities for forming this extremely in- 
teresting collection of French faience, for years ago many varieties of XVIIIth 
Century and earlier specimens had found their way to Strasbourg and the adja- 
cent cities. Old French faience is now very difficult to obtain, for the French 
museums and collectors generally have largely absorbed the specimens to be 
had. Some years ago Mr. Morgan bequeathed a charming collection of French 
faience to the Metropolitan Museum. The work of each of the different kilns 
has been grouped for convenience of comparison. A few examples of French 
porcelain have been included with the faience.

EPISODES FROM THE APOCALYPSE. A large panoramic landscape 
is unevenly divided by a central floriated column, approaching 
the Renaissance in character. The larger scene at left, known 
as the COURTESAN OF BABYLON, shows two horsemen in the 
upper portion approaching two winged angels, one of which 
carries a sun-dial, denoting that their end is near. Below, m a 
rising landscape, are strange allegorical beasts before which, 
at left, is a queenly figure, offering incense, at right a group of 
supplicating figures in which a king appears. The scene at right 
known as THE ANGEL WITH THE KEYS OF THE AByss; in the upper 
portion, a winged angel is escorting a saintly figure toward a 
very elaborate chateau crested by hills. Below is a voluminously 
robed and winged angel enchaining the weird beast. At crown, 
left and right, are two crimson panels, bearing lengthy Gothic 
inscriptions relative to the subject. Woven in very rich crim- 
son-reds, yellows, ivories, greens, pinks and browns, with a very | | 
remarkable blue, giving a splendid tone to the whole composition. 
Finished with a border of scrolling fruit and flowers in some- | 
what similar colors, on a blue-black ground. 


Height, 13 feet 1 inch; length, 16 feet 10 inches. 


Note: This superb Arras tapestry was originally one of a series woven 
for the royal Escurial Palace at Madrid and the themes in the composition 
are by Albrecht Diirer, born Nuremberg 1471—died 1528. Two woodcuts of 
his famous set of the Apocalypse, executed in 1498 and signed with his cipher, 
accompany the tapestry and prove beyond pereadventure of a doubt that the 
cartoon for this remarkable specimen of weaving was drawn by Albrecht 

-Diirer or directly based on his series. The left side has been reversed from 
the woodcut in order to balance the composition.
